Default Headlamp Condensation/Water

Ahhh this mornign I go into the garage to find my S has water in the driver side headlamp .

Furious I jump online and search for any help! no luck! I am trying to avoid removing the bumper/headlamp assy and removing the clear pastic lens, and resealing it to the body.

it has sat for 24 hours and it has no dried up on its own, I believe I will need to take it apart, dry it, and reseal. But what if it leaks again? As in...the leak is not between the body and the plastic lens?

Is it possible to leak in one of the bulb sockets?

Resealing is the most sure way to fix.

But you can try to dry it out by pulling the bulb out and letting it air out.

had the same problem on the passenger side of my car
it was the inner corner off my headlight that was loosend
and leaking had to remove the headlight and take the lens of
and resealed it after cleaning the headlight i did this because it always came back
